While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

But this time, he perceived more clearly.

That mysterious power was surging from his body, permeating the dagger in his hand and briefly enhancing it to a level far exceeding its original quality.

He released his grip, and the enhancement disappeared.

Hold on again, and the strengthening will surge once more.

Xu Chuan's breathing became rapid.

He recalled an even more outrageous possibility.

The Eye of God.

What would happen if he held the Eye of God in his hands?

A knight who doesn't die unarmed can turn any "weapon" into his own.

While the Eye of God is not a weapon in the traditional sense, it is the medium through which Teyvats manipulate elemental forces and is the most crucial tool in battle.

If it can also be considered a "weapon".

How can one obtain the divine eye of another without the watchful eye of a deity, and then directly borrow its power?

Is it possible to manipulate the elements like the holder of the Eye of God?

Xu Chuan's heart raced.

He absolutely loved the system.

I've completely forgotten how I cursed it as a rip-off when I was at Longji Snow Mountain.

"Hey! Xu Chuan! What are you spacing out for?"

Paimon's voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

Xu Chuan came to his senses and saw Ying and Pai Meng standing not far away, while Amber was busy directing the rescue.

"It's nothing." Xu Chuan shook his head. "Let's go, let's help rescue them."

The three joined the rescue team.

The streets were bustling with activity.

Members of the Knights of Favonius were clearing the rubble, while nuns and priests of the Church of Favonius moved through the crowd, bandaging and treating the injured.

Xu Chuan noted that although the buildings were severely damaged, most of the injured were minor, with the majority suffering from crushed objects or abrasions, and there were almost no seriously injured people.

The protection from the wind god was even more thorough than he had imagined.

"Help! Someone's been trapped!"

A gasp came from not far away.

Xu Chuan turned his head and saw a familiar figure vaguely emerging from under a pile of collapsed wooden planks.

He rushed over, pried open the wooden planks, and saw Bennett lying there covered in dust, one leg pinned under a wooden beam, wincing in pain.

"Bennett!"

"Ah, it's you!" Bennett actually managed a smile when he saw him. "What a coincidence, we meet again!"

Xu Chuan was both amused and exasperated: "What a coincidence! You got pinned down!"

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m used to it,” Bennett said. “I knew I’d have bad luck going out today.”

Before he could finish speaking, the rubble next to him suddenly shifted again, and a piece of gravel rolled down, about to hit him on the head.

Xu Chuan reacted quickly, grabbing the stone and tossing it aside.

Bennett paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Wow, you're quick on the uptake!"

Xu Chuan used his strength to lift the wooden beam and rescue the injured Bennett.

Just then, a soft voice sounded from the side.

"Please move aside, let me treat him."

Xu Chuan turned his head and saw a girl walking quickly towards him.

She wore a white nun's habit, had blonde twin ponytails, and her azure eyes were as clear as lake water.

A divine eye, shimmering with the light of water, hung from her slender waist.

Barbara, a priestess of the Church of Favonius, a shining idol of Mondstadt, and Jean's sister.

"Are you hurt?" Barbara crouched down and asked Bennett gently. "Don't be afraid, I'll help you heal."

She clasped her hands together, and the light of the water element gathered in her palms.

A soft light enveloped Bennett's injured leg, and the bruise that had been pressed out faded at a visible speed.

Bennett stood up, stretched his legs, and exclaimed with delight, “It doesn’t hurt at all! Miss Barbara is amazing!”

Barbara smiled and said softly, "It's nothing, it's what I should do."

She looked up, saw Xu Chuan, and paused for a moment.

"you are?"

"Xu Chuan, Mr. Abedo's assistant," Xu Chuan introduced himself. "I haven't been in Mondstadt for long."

Barbara nodded and said gently, "Hello, if you get injured, you can come to me and I will treat you."

Xu Chuan thanked him with a smile.

After treating the wounded here, Barbara hurriedly rushed to the next location.

Her figure moved through the ruins like a gentle light, soothing the city's pain.

As Xu Chuan watched her retreating figure, he suddenly recalled the stories about her in the game.

Her efforts and perseverance, and her small wish to catch up with her sister.

When will Barbara be as tall as her sister?

The rescue operation lasted for nearly two hours.

The debris on the street has been initially cleared.

A dark-skinned, one-eyed young man wearing a pirate eyepatch found them.

Amber immediately noticed and nodded at him, "Captain Kaeya."

Kaia Albury.

The cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, a man who is forever enigmatic.

"Thank you for your help, ladies who have traveled from afar."

His gaze fell on Xu Chuan, and a half-smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Abedo's new assistant, Mr. Xu Chuan."

"The Knights of Favonius are honored to welcome you to their ranks."

"The acting Grand Master is very interested in you all and hopes to meet at the Knights' headquarters."

After Kaiya finished speaking, she gestured invitingly, "Please come with me."

The four followed Kaeya toward the Knights' headquarters.

On the way, Xu Chuan noticed that Ying's expression was more relaxed than when they first entered the city, while Paimon was as chattering as ever, asking all sorts of questions.

Kaiya answered casually, but her eyes would occasionally sweep over Xu Chuan, as if she were looking at something interesting.

Xu Chuan met his gaze calmly.

He knew Kaiya's background: a descendant of Kanria, a member of a royal family, and harboring many secrets.

At least for now, Kaiya is on Mondstadt's side.

The Knights' headquarters, Jyn's office.

When Xu Chuan pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was the woman standing by the window.

The acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, the Dandelion Knight, and the current highest-ranking administrator of Mondstadt.

She had long golden hair, and her emerald green eyes revealed both determination and weariness.

Her uniform was impeccable, but the weariness in her eyes betrayed the fact that she had been working hard for days.

Qin's gaze swept over the four people, finally landing on Ying.

“I am the acting commander, Jean. This is Lisa, the Knights’ librarian.”

Beside Qin, this beautiful lady, who possessed both intellectual elegance and languid charm, nodded to everyone.

"This must be the traveler who repelled Stormterror, right?"

"Thank you so much for everything you've done for Mondstadt."

Ying shook her head: "You're welcome."

Jean looked at Amber again: "Amber, you did a great job."

Amber stood at attention and saluted: "It's my duty!"

Finally, Qin's gaze fell on Xu Chuan.

"Are you the new assistant Abedo hired?" Her tone was tinged with curiosity. "Abedo rarely hires people on his own initiative. For him to take notice of you, you must have something special about you."

Xu Chuan humbly replied, "It was just good luck."

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin got down to business.

"Although no one died in this Stormterror attack, the city suffered severe damage."

Her tone was grave. "Moreover, this is just the beginning. If the problem of the Stormterror is not resolved, similar attacks will continue to occur."

Not long after Ying awoke, most of her power was sealed away by the maintainer of the laws of nature.

The wind god's secret intervention was indispensable in driving away the wind demon dragon this time.

Putting himself in Xu Chuan's shoes, he imagined himself arriving in a strange and dangerous country with only one-tenth of his strength remaining.

I wouldn't choose to fight a dragon for someone I've only just met.

But there are always exceptions, aren't there?

You agree, right, Barbatos, the god of wind?

After expressing her gratitude, Qin turned her gaze to Xu Chuan.

"Mr. Xu Chuan, I have something I'd like to ask you."

Chapter Sixteen: Revenge is a Must

Xu Chuan was somewhat surprised: "Me?"

“Yes,” Jean said. “Sugar set off for Dragonspine this morning to find Abedo. The Knights need Abedo to return to Mondstadt as soon as possible.”

She walked to the window and looked at the outline of the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"The Stormterror's attack exposed many problems."

"Mondstadt's defenses need to be reinforced, and the buildings damaged by the tornadoes need professional assessment."

"The strange crystals on the Wind Demon Dragon's body, and the mutations it has undergone, may be the cause of these changes."

"I need Aberdo to analyze what that is."

She turned around and looked at Xu Chuan.

"So I'd like to ask you to make a trip to Longji Snow Mountain and bring Abedo back. You are his assistant, and no one is more suitable than you."

Xu Chuan paused for a moment, then nodded.

"no problem."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Qin gave a grateful smile. "I'll send someone to escort you on the way."

After Xu Chuan agreed, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Director Qin," he said somewhat shyly, "may I make a small request?"

"What request?"

"Could I get an advance on my salary?"
